Explanation, please?

It's 2:40, the day before the 1st day of school, and I still don't have a class roster. I've no idea how to assign seats, check attendance, or call on students without their names. I can improvise & manage well enough ~ there are matters within my control (such as, what will I teach tomorrow) that demand my attention.

Still, I'm left wondering, curiously . . . what the heck did the office & administraton do all summer? Didn't they have a good 6 weeks to split kids into teams, assign classes, and print schedules? Is our school used as a hospital or gymnasium or roach hotel during the summer?

Grrrrrrrrrrr. On a happier note, 65 parents showed up for Open House last night. This means ~65% of our parents care enough to meet the teachers . . . I'm taking that as a good sign.
